Hearing the Rolling Stones -- 'Sweet Virginia'

Mr. Irrelevant Turns Three, Wears His Birthday Suit


Mr. Irrelevant was born three years ago today. Sadly, I don't think anyone took notice. The seed had been planted by myself and the internerd two months prior to that date, but it was known as A Cinderella Story for the duration of the pregnancy. I'm sure you can understand the impetus for the name change upon birthing, and if you don't, well, here's what I wrote 1,130 blog posts ago:

"The Cinderella thing was a dual reference to March Madness and a quote from Bill Murray in Caddyshack: "This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion." Ultimately Mr. Irrelevant is a bit mo' memorable and appropriate. Of course, this comes from the moniker given to the final player selected in each year's NFL Draft. Plus, sports commentary is pretty much irrelevant to anything that actually matters anyway."

I used to write "mo'" instead of "more?" Where else did I go wrong? Striped shirts and trucker hats? Thankfully, age and experience have enhanced my prose and fashion by leaps and bounds (not saying much). To celebrate that and the birthday boy, here's a pantsless drawing of the Mr. Irrelevant bio pic done recently by the lovely and talented Miss Gossip ...

Many thanks to all of my dozens of readers over the years and especially to Mrs. Irrelevant, who has little understanding of why I must blog on the daily yet is patient enough to feed my need. Now, let's get pissed!

    Many thanks to the well wishers, including MY MOM! I can't believe she left a comment telling everyone I'm (almost) 30; in human years, not blog years.
